There more and more people all across the world are acknowledging the urgent need for action.

"For European and Chinese citizens, climate change is the biggest challenge they face, topping access to healthcare and the threat of unemployment in the EU and access to healthcare and fear of a financial crisis in China.

In the United States, climate change was seen as the second biggest challenge after access to healthcare, and more important than the third biggest threat — political instability.

Two thirds of people in Europe, the US and China think their individual behaviour can help tackle climate change and more than three-quarters of parents believe their children will bear the consequences of climate change, the survey showed.

The kids care so much that they trash every place they go while attending what ever "fest" happens to be up next.

20,000 lbs. of trash from this past year's Flotopia. .................. after they have been asked repeatedly to please clean up after themselves.

Youth should be more concerned with the US drowning in its national debt within 80 years than a "worst case" (based on ???) scenario sea level rise.

False Alarm: Book Review

Lomborg’s facility in using simple language to explain economic concepts is put to work once again in this new book “False Alarm,” which is devoted to the topic of climate change. His first chapter, entitled “Why do we get climate change so wrong?” warns the reader to anticipate a critical examination of prevailing public beliefs about climate change.

How ethical is that?
Read between the lines, the younger generation is threatening the older ones to flood them with corona and eventually kill them if the older ones do not bow to the climate alarm.
A thoroughly immoral proposal. Is this already blackmail or just the thought product of misguided spirits? Here is the corresponding press release of the PIK, on which the whole thing is based (emphasis added): . . .

[h=2]German Psychotherapists Offer Free Workshops For Youth Struggling With Climate Crisis Emotional Strain[/h]By P Gosselin on 2. September 2020

Climate alarm fatigue syndrome: Climate alarmism turning the youth into emotional basket cases…nce again Germany talks itself into a new psychosis.

Here’s a short but interesting report on how all the climate alarmism in Germany is now taking a psychological toll, especially on the youth. . . .

 

[Bergslagstroll]

Inspiring new documentary about Greta Thunberg.

"The Swedish teenager allowed film-maker Nathan Grossman to follow her for a year after he met her in 2018 on the very first day of her schools' strike, sitting alone outside parliament in Stockholm with her homemade placard.

In that time she went from being a self-confessed "shy nerdy person" to global icon.

The resulting film, "Greta", reveals not only the inside story of the pain and risk Thunberg has put herself through for the climate cause – braving death threats and a hair-raising North Atlantic crossing in a racing yacht – but her love of breaking into dance and her gift for comedy.

Thunberg told AFP that she hoped the intimate, often touching portrait that tracks her extraordinary rise would put an end to the "conspiracy theories that I don't think for myself and someone else writes my speeches.

"In the movie you can see that is not actually true, that I do decide for myself," said the activist, who has been dismissed as a "brat" by Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, who claimed she was being manipulated."

There Greta Thunberg have inspired and help to build a global movement.

"In doing so, they miss the significance of the last two years. The climate strike movement has grown into a network of global campaigns focused on systemic change to tackle the climate crisis. In the process, young people have outgrown the mainstream environmental movement. They don’t want recognition in the world of today. They want a new world, and they are building it."

It would take 600 years for the sea level to rise 6 feet. and let's not forget just 40 years ago they were saying there was global climate cooling.

I can't believe people are doing this to their kids and it's really shaky science at the very best.

The evidence is so overwhelming that even federal agencies have to acknowledge the urgent need for action.

Fourth National Climate Assessment

That those federal agencies are under the control and scrutiny of a president that denies the urgent need for action and also Republican politicians like James Inhofe.

"Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. According to Oil Change International, Inhofe has received over $2 million in political contributions from the fossil fuel industry. He once compared the Environmental Protection Agency to the Gestapo, and brought a snowball onto the Senate floor to ‘disprove’ global warming. Sen. Inhofe, author of the 2012 book The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future, once claimed on the Senate floor that “man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”"

I'm not suckered in by alarmism. Bloated government agencies that simply try to justify their existence are not the authorities.

For example NASA only get a small percentage of their budget from climate change research. So it would been much smarter to disprove the urgent need for action to be in good favor with Republican politicians that denies the urgent need for action. Especially during the two years Republicans controlled both the presidency, the House and the Senate. There the result is instead that NASA continue to acknowledge the urgent need for action because the evidence is so overwhelming.

whatever urgent action you think we would need to do would do nothing the entire United States contribute such a tiny percent to the atmospheric pollution the difference we would make if we went back to the Stone age would be negligible.

I don't believe this bull**** religion I'm sorry. Your prophets are jokes. They had their heads way up their asses 40 years ago. And in another 40 years it will probably be some other catastrophe chicken littles are screeching about.

So preach this nonsense to someone who's in The cult.

 

[istodolez]

LOL. That's OK. You don't have to "believe" anything. Thankfully science doesn't care what people's "opinions" are.

And the temperature continues to climb!

Some of us took science classes after junior high school. Some of us got doctorates in science. We'll take care of you even when you are "surprised" by the reality of AGW.

And, maybe why the older folks don't give a damn.

Post 2100:

Blue indicates counties where flooding will displace residents if sea levels rise by six feet by 2100. Counties in shades of pink and red will see higher-than-average migration, with the darker shades representing larger population increases.



The kids know this is real. And, like Greta, they are rightfully voicing their anger at the older generations who ignore the danger or simply do not care since it's not their problem.

All the 'kids' know is the lies that are fed to them by ignorant alarmists like our national shame, Greta.

The temperature has been climbing for 25,000 years. To act like it's all of a sudden a catastrophe is to preach Doomsday.

How long do you think interglacials usually last?

Just curious. What do you know about Cenozoic ice age cycles?

Not sure you’re aware of this, but the recent rate of rise is the issue.

But reflexive libertarian denial probably doesn’t allow you to comprehend that.

yeah it's the issue du jour this week. If and when it's proven to be irrelevant it will be something else.

But reflexive libertarian denial probably doesn’t allow you to comprehend that.

This is the reason I know that this is disingenuous you have to make it personal. not everybody believes in your religion it's okay you can believe whatever you want you can practice whatever you want but you can't force it on everyone else.

 

[istodolez]

Not much.

I'm not surprised! But do you ever wonder if maybe your ignorance of the larger topics might impact the conclusion you draw?

No the trick that people have used to dupe you is saying that it's more nuanced than it really is. That's how religions have worked all throughout history.
